About this product

Product Information

Dragon Warrior IV is composed of five separate chapters. The first chapter details the adventures of Ragnar, a soldier ordered by the king to investigate the disappearance of several local children. The next chapter tells the story of Alena, who yearns to escape from her sheltered life of a pampered princess. Taloon is an arms merchant, and is the subject of chapter three. He is an ambitious man with dreams of buying his own store, and has set off to find a fortune inn order to do so. Chapter four relates the story of the sisters of Monbaraba. Sisters Nara and Mara lost their father. Nara is skilled in the magic of fortune telling, while Mara has studied the ancient art of dance since a young age. The sisters are determined to uncover the cause behind their father's death. Finally, chapter five brings the characters from the previous chapters together under the leadership of you, the game's hero. A fierce demon has been secretly watching the characters throughout their stories for mysterious reasons. You and your party must confront this demon. Dragon Warrior IV features a tactics system. In the first four chapters, you can set character positions for battle, with the lead character being able to inflict the most damage while striking. When you bring all the characters together in the fifth chapter, the characters have learned enough to act alone. You can select one of six possible strategies for your characters. They will then follow your strategy to the best of their abilities while you control your hero character directly. In chapter five, you can also switch an active character for a reserve character once during battle to bring up a more appropriate character or to save a wounded character.

A New Adventure Begins
Fans of the series are divided on which is their favourite installment. While most site V or VIII, mine as far as plot development goes is IV. Told as four seperate stories that come together in the end to tell the main story, IV was a new direction and the beginning of a new epic storyline. Gone are the days of Erdrick and the kingdom of Alefgard, now we are dealing with the Zenithian saga which carries into the fan favourite V and the lesser received but equally awesome VI

Dragon warrior/quest
The story deviates from following the first original 3 DW/Q but in a great way. The story of Erdrick had been concluded. This really brought Dragon Quest games in a new direction

Awesome!
The game was in great shape and had already been cleaned prior to shipping! As a collector and player of classic video games it goes a long way to receive a game and when i start to clean it find out that it has already been cleaned.

Challenging like the rest.
This one is just as good as the other three dragon warriors. Just as challenging and graphics as good as they get. Definitely a good value.
